City games in Gothenburg

Gothenburg was laid out by Dutch engineers in the 1620s, which is why the centre is cut by canals, and the fish market on one of them is built like a church — hence its nickname, the fish church. The walking routes pass the Gustav Adolfs torg, the Göteborgs domkyrka, the Kronhuset, the Feskekörka, the Brunnsparken and the Stora Saluhallen.

• Gothenburg Murder Mystery – a Sherlock Holmes-style detective game: gather clues, question digital characters, crack codes and name the killer, for up to 4 players on one phone. Languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

• The Gothenburg Syndicate – an outdoor escape game in which every player takes a role in the mission, for 2 to 4 players on one phone. Languages: English.

• Secrets of Gothenburg – a scavenger hunt and walking tour: riddles, puzzles and photo tasks at each stop, for up to 4 players on one phone. Languages: 31 languages, including English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

• Start: The Rådhuset (the Syndicate starts at the cathedral and Secrets of Gothenburg on the Gustav Adolfs torg).

• Duration and distance: About 2 hours and 3–4 km on foot. Pause for coffee whenever you like; there is no clock running.

• Price: €19.95 per ticket. One ticket covers one phone and the team playing on it.

• What you need: A charged smartphone with mobile internet. The game runs in the free Loquiz app, and you can start on any day, at any time.
